Configuring a vDC to Work with vCloud Air SQL
This section describes how to create and configure a vDC that can supply the OnDemand billing
structure and also communicate with vCloud Air SQL. Because Air SQL is available from US Texas 1 14
data center, the vDC must exist there.
2.1
Create a Virtual Data Center
As mentioned earlier, you need to obtain an OnDemand account because a vDC is required to connect
vCloud Air SQL to the billing infrastructure. You must enable the service network for any vDC network
that you want to expose to vCloud Air SQL.
1. Log into vCloud Air at vca.vmware.com.
2. Hover over the OnDemand tile and choose a service ID. This determines which cost center is
billed. Creating the vCD does not generate a cost, but if you create VMs or purchase IP
addresses in the vDC, the related costs are charged to this service ID.
3. Choose the US Texas 1 14 data center from the dropdown menu.
4. On the left, next to Virtual Data Centers, click the + icon.
5. In the New Virtual Data Center box, enter a name and click Create Virtual Data Center.
